Customer Reviews of Taylor 5599 440 Pound Tempered Glass Body Fat-Body Water Scale
Customer Review: Good scale.
Summary: 4 Stars
Today is the first day I've had it, and my roommate and I programmed ourselves into it and everything went smoothly and we are happy with it.
It looks great and appears to be accurate and consistent (make sure your feet are making contact with the metal, and not the circle-metal parts).
The plastic parts (the handle and buttons) seem a bit flimsy, but I can put up with it. As other reviews have stated, the results for fat %, water %, muscle mass and bone mineral do cycle around rather quickly, but I just keep a notebook/pen handy closeby and grab it as soon as the results display.
Customer Review: Never really worked, then died
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought it to try out the body fat function. I was disappointed out of the box when I tested it. It decided I was about 38% BF, 42% H20, 40% muscle, and 5% bone. That's a grand total of 125%. So much for believing those numbers.
For weight, mine was very precise. Half a dozen measurements wouldn't vary by more than 0.2 lbs. But then after 6 months, it became difficult to get it to turn on - step on it several times, take out the batteries and put them back in. Then it stopped coming on at all. I changed the batteries, but no luck, and those batteries aren't cheap. Time for a new scale.
Customer Review: Great scale
Summary: 4 Stars
Great scale and at a great price. Not only was the scale on sale, but I believe the manufacturer was offering an additional discount through Amazaon at the time of purchase.
The scall seems very accurate at displaying body weight. I can't tell how accruate the body composition (fat, water, bone, etc.) numbers are but it is a cool feature.
One minor issue is that it is a little difficult to put the scale into the body composition analysis mode since you have to reach down and press the set button with you hand. It's pretty hard to do it with you toe.
Customer Review: Great scale at a great price
Summary: 4 Stars
First of all, I got a great bargain on this scale. It was on sale, then there was an additional $10 off that day for this brand, so I'm extremely pleased with the price. For normal weighing, the scale is silent, fast, and accurate. The numbers are large and easy-to-read. You need a pad and pen handy to use the additional features because they flash through quickly! I will only use that periodically to check progress, but for everyday weighing, this is the best scale I've ever had. Besides that, it looks great in the bathroom and is easy to clean.Customer Review: accuracy and battery usage
Summary: 1 Stars
This scale is awful. When I first got it, it said I weighed about 30 pounds more than I actually weigh. I tested it with other normal household goods. Still, it consistently overweighed them. So I returned it and got another one.
The second one worked great-- for about two months. Then I noticed that the display was dim. Had it really drained the batteries in only two months? I replaced the batteries.
The display was still dim. It was a defective scale --but now I could not return it.
